Cleaning things up in the engine room I discovered there is a type of air filter installed on the Caterpillar 3208 turbo diesel air intake. Earlier I had asked my local marina shop about replacement air filter elements and they said those engines don't normally have air filters.
The filter is marked Walker Engineering PN 1C01C94 and says to clean at 250 hours and replace at 500 hours. I can't find anything about this filter on their website, but sent them a request for information.
My question to the forum is should there be an air filter element in use or not on these engines? Is anyone out there using air filters on the Cats? If so, make and model please.
Any experience out there as far as good idea, bad idea, observations on performance, etc.?
Thank you all in advance. I have have come to really appreciate this forum.
